No downed plane found

Oconee public safety responders searched by ground and by air, but apparently found no signs of the possibility of a small plane crash. Sheriff Crenshaw said after his office received a report from someone who heard what sounded like the sputtering of a plane engine, officers began to look and their helicopter took to the air. The search late yesterday afternoon was concentrated in the Picket Post Community.  101.7/WGOG NEWS learned the search included such areas as Stamp Creek Road, Duncan Ward Road, and Alexander Road and Oconee Station Road.
